LANE DEPARTURE WARNING (LDW)
SYSTEM
Precautions on LDW system
WARNING
●This system is only a warning device to in-
form the driver of a potential unintended
lane departure. It will not steer the vehicle or
prevent loss of control. It is the driver’s re-
sponsibility to stay alert, drive safely, keep
the vehicle in the traveling lane, and be in
control of the vehicle at all times.
● The system will not operate at speeds below
approximately 45 MPH or if it cannot detect
lane markers.
● If the LDW system malfunctions, it will can-
cel automatically, and the lane departure
warning light (orange) will illuminate.
● If the lane departure warning light (orange)
illuminates, pull off the road to a safe loca-
tion and stop the vehicle. Turn the engine off
and restart the engine. If the lane departure
warning light (orange) continues to illumi-
nate, have the system checked by an INFINITI
retailer. ●
Excessive noise will interfere with the warn-
ing chime sound, and the chime may not be
heard.
The system may not function properly under the
following conditions:
● On roads where there are multiple parallel
lane markers; lane markers that are faded or
not painted clearly; yellow painted lane
markers; non-standard lane markers; or lane
markers covered with water, dirt, snow, etc.
● On roads where the discontinued lane mark-
ers are still detectable.
● On roads where there are sharp curves.
● On roads where there are sharply contrast-
ing objects, such as shadows, snow, water,
wheel ruts, seams or lines remaining after
road repairs. (The LDW system could detect
these items as lane markers.)
● On roads where the traveling lane merges or
separates.
● When the vehicle’s traveling direction does
not align with the lane marker.
● When traveling close to the vehicle in front
of you, which obstructs the lane camera unit
detection range. ●
When rain, snow or dirt adheres to the
windshield in front of the lane camera unit.
● When the headlights are not bright due to
dirt on the lens or if the aiming is not
adjusted properly.
● When strong light enters the lane camera
unit. (For example, the light directly shines
on the front of the vehicle at sunrise or
sunset.)
● When a sudden change in brightness occurs.
(For example, when the vehicle enters or
exits a tunnel or under a bridge.)

● When a sudden change in brightness occurs.
(For example, when the vehicle enters or
exits a tunnel or under a bridge.) While the LDP system is operating, you may
hear a sound of brake operation. This is normal
and indicates that the LDP system is operating
properly.
LDP system operation
The LDP system provides a lane departure warning
and brake control assistance when the vehicle is
driven at speeds of approximately 45 MPH (72
km/h) and above. When the vehicle approaches
either the left or the right side of the traveling lane,
a warning chime will sound and the lane departure
warning light (orange) on the instrument panel will
blink to alert the driver. Then, the LDP system will
automatically apply the brakes for a short period of
time to help assist the driver to return the vehicle
to the center of the traveling lane.
The warning and assist functions will stop when
the vehicle returns to a position inside of the lane
marker.
